Navigating government regulations with confidence
Facing the challenge of meeting changing United States’ Environmental Protection Agencies (EPA) regulations for ethylene oxide emissions monitoring can be daunting. However, with the right tools and support, it can become manageable. State-of-the-art solutions can detect the toxic ethylene oxide gas with precision, aiding in compliance navigation, ensuring smooth operations, and protecting workers in their breathing zone.
Meet the challenge with MAX-IR
Ethylene oxide (EtO) is used in applications such as medical equipment sterilization and chemical manufacturing. As a known carcinogen and air pollutant, it is critical to monitor to address both emissions and workplace air monitoring.
The Thermo Scientific MAX-iAQ Ambient Air Monitoring System and EMS-10 Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) systems are ideal solutions for monitoring low-level EtO emissions in real time. They provide immediate detection of leaks and exceed US EPA standards with an LOD of 1 parts-per-billion (ppb) with less than 15 seconds responsivities. These robust and reliable systems require minimal downtime and low maintenance, ensuring your operations continue without interruption. Our comprehensive support includes technical expertise for installation, field service, and applications support.
Trust in a solution that safeguards indoor air quality and protects workers from potential exposure to this hazardous gas. With the right system, managing and reducing these risks becomes achievable, ensuring a safe and compliant workplace.
- Achieve fast, sensitive analysis for immediate detection of leaks
- Exceed US EPA standards with an LOD of 1 parts-per-billion (ppb) with less than 15 seconds responsivities
